    SG Bass build

    Mike replied to a topic in Build Diaries

    Looks great, nice one!

    Wow - this is looking brilliant. I'm not the biggest fan of headless basses, but this really looks tremendous. Can't wait to see it finished - and hanging off someone being played! Regards Mike

    I have received an email from Jon! Sent me some pics of the bass in bits a few weeks ago. I'll post them soon!
  4. Mike
    Jesus! That's amazing. I'd love to see Jon in person but I'm in the SE and he's in Sheffield.

    Thanks for the input, guys. Well, 5 or 6 days since I emailed, I've heard nothing. I rang the workshop today and got no answer. I rang Jon's Mobile and got no answer, left a message. I know everyone's said how great his customer service is. I just wish I could see some of it. I appreciate he has a lot on, but I find it frustrating that I pay him sight unseen £1000 deposit, and it takes over a month for him to confirm it's received, and I haven't heard anything since (by the way, it was only me phoning that that got the receipt confirmation). I'm sure I'll be happy with the bass. I'm just not too happy right now. Not the best experience for my first ever custom. Cheers Mike

    I've been enjoying some John Rutter recently, choral works for Clare College, Cambridge, as well as some Karl Jenkins (adiemus, Celtic stuff). Also loving some Tiger Lillies and Divine Comedy.

    Mr Bowman, you were one of the main culprits! And your SC just sent me over the edge! I've emailed Jon for any info today. Regards Mike

    Richard Bona is my favourite musician, bar none, around today. That is a piece of jewellery given to him by his (late?) grandmother, and is very special, it's always on his bass. Regards Mike

    Sweet isn't it Edward? Paul - no, there genuinely is a bathroom! The shuker is nearly paid for. I'm onto the bathroom now!

    Hi Guys Still after money to fund a bathroom for our new house! This is a relatively new addition, a Sting signature P-bass with tort guard, a moulded Fender hardcase, and upgraded basslines pickup - which sounds huge - the perfect early P-bass tone. I will include the original fender pickup - as well as the white pickguard. The neck has been sanded slightly to remove the thick gloss, so now much more playable. The only marks I can find on the bass is on the neck - one part around the seventh fret is a bit lighter than the rest of the neck - purely aesthetic, can't feel it or anything, happened during the sanding. Looking for £450 ono. Any questions feel free to PM but my internet access is limited so feel free to ring or text to 07729224338. Cheers! Mike PS Based in Chelmsford, Essex (CM2 6TY) Prefer pickup but can ship for about £16 or so!

    Thanks for the headsup, mate. Remember Steely Dan are also in London in July!

    I think the Reggie would be a good buy - gets good reviews, nice and versatile with the PJ pup config - what's not to like? Good luck in your search!

    Kiwi's collection

    Mike replied to Kiwi's topic in Gear Gallery

    Yeah, top stuff. I've always loved your Smiths - and I was delighted to have a go at the last bash. And I really liked the control on your Pedulla - the Q thing. Regards Mike

    Wow, cool stuff. I've always liked Dingwalls. And always interested to be told that there is no learning curve with the fanned frets. Looking forward to seeing more pics! Are all Dingwalls active? Regards Mike
  23. Mike
    Lovely stuff! Not my words, Thumbo - the words of Shakin' Stevens!
  24. Mike
    Thanks guys! I'll keep you posted!
